Lesson Learned // Unlock Your Potential
Hello guys! It's been lovely days for me since my boyfriend sent bouquet of flowers (and a doll, and chocolates too!) on Valentine's day. The favorite thing from my Valentine's gift is the flower bouquet. So I took some photographs of them (and upload some to Instagram!), I love doing photography recently and I want to improve my photography skill.
When I took some photos, I was thinking about something that disturb my mind lately. I was thinking what are we going to do in the future, will I be working for myself a.k.a be my own boss? Or working on someone's company. For me, I love to be my own boss. But then I realize that being your own boss will take much time. Time to build your empire. You can't build your empire just in time, like, "Abracadabra! I've graduated and tomorrow I will sit on my chair in my own empire". You just cannot do that. You have to invest for yourself from NOW. I mean, investing could be saving your money day by day, even just a little; or maybe practicing and improving skills you have. I suggest to take internships on a business you like. By doing so, you will learn new things on business even just a little bit.
And that's why, I think every girl should know what's her potential for her better future. I saw in real life that many girls use their time for hanging out day and night. Well, I think hanging out is okay if you're already know and improve your potential for your future. I think it's a little bit wasting time by hanging out too much. By unlocking your potential, it will help you to create your empire, and even help you to find a great place for working. So girls, unlock your potential!

Love is in the Air
Happy Valentine's day! This is my 2nd valentine's day with my boyfriend. And I'm really happy today. Even though we haven't met since last month, I celebrate it with Skype date. And by the way, I'm sorry to hear Mountain Kelud's eruption last night in my province. The ashes covered my house this morning and it was raining volcanic ashes too. It was really horrible to breath in a bit ashes. I hope everyone can celebrate the day of love without fear.
When I went home this morning from my campus, I found this lovely pink flowers bouquet and cow doll (my mom said it was a pig doll) in my desk. And I couldn't stop smiling all daaaay! He makes me feel so special. But I couldn't send anything to my boyfriend due to he couldn't accept any gifts in his military academy. Then I made our illustration (all I can do is drawing). I hopes he'll like it!

Friday Freebie // February Wallpaper
It's a month of love. So many people fall in love, and heart-broken. And if you're a broken-hearted girl, I suggest you to move on and build your empire! I'm not heart-broken right now, I just feel so sorry for those girls who always cried over someone who hurt her. Just get over it, and start building your future empire! Happy Valentine's Day!

Currently Loving // Raw Crystals
Well, browsing through Pinterest is one of my favorite things to do. Just to find some pretty things for my dull eyes during preparing my undergraduate thesis. And I found these cute things, raw crystals, then I search it on one of my favorite shop, Etsy. Isn't it beautiful? Maybe it's a little bit outdated, but still, it's really pretty and I wish I could have them all!

Lesson Learned // Why I Blog
This post came up
when one of my friends asked me why I blog, is it because I have nothing to do?
She thought that blogging is for everyone who has little things to do so they
blog. I'm not mad with her statement but it was like a stereotype to all bloggers.
She's a gamer, and I was a gamer too, and I think playing game isn't more fun
and beneficial than blogging. Well, sometimes blogging takes time a lot and
it's fun. And blogging is like my new hobby besides drawing and painting. So, why do I blog?

Lesson Learned // Entrepreneurship for Beginners
Nowadays, there are so many women who can prove their success with entrepreneurship skills they had. But, there are also some women who don't know where to start with entrepreneurship. I have an advice, you can start from everything you like! If you like designing, open a design studio. If you like fashion, you can open a boutique or online store. Well, it takes a lot of hard work. But trust me, your hard work will be nothing when you're doing what you like.
Some people choose to work for companies, and some people choose to build their own company. I'm a type that I should have my own company. There are many reasons why I don't like just sitting behind my desk and doing what my boss told me what to do. I want to do what I love to do. Because by doing what you love to do, will give you better outcomes than doing what other people love to do.
If you have a company, that means you will create jobs for others directly or indirectly. That also means a better living for yourself, others, and your country! So, why not create your own company?

2 Great Things on My 22th Birthday
My birthday is so last year but I just want to share things that happened on my 22th birthday. So, it was on December 11th 2013, it was a pretty date actually. And I really happy because my boyfriend gave me a sweet surprise! I also got a new naughty-beagle-mix-golden-retriever puppy from my friend who actually didn't know that it was my birthday. My boyfriend who actually lives far away from my hometown unintentionally came to Surabaya to celebrate birthday of Indonesia's army. I went over to his place and he only said to me "Happy birthday, bla bla bla bla, sorry I can't give you anything on your birthday". And then we have a conversation but suddenly rain came and my boyfriend said that he had to take his laundry. So, he left me alone and my friend told me that we should move to another room. And when I entered that room, my boyfriend was holding a cake with '22' candles. I was so shocked yet happy. This was unbelievable! Finally I celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend. What a rare moment considering my boyfriend is a busy soldier so he doesn't have much time for me. Thank You God!
